In the realm of video games, there are three different tiers of licensed games. First, you have your higher-quality licensed games, which would be things like the Naruto: Clash of Ninja series, perhaps; these are rather few and far between. More common are games based off of popular cartoon shows, or movies, like many games currently on the Nintendo DS. Then there’s jackass: the game.
jackass: the game is practically the definition of cash-in, as production value is almost nowhere to be seen. The gameplay is riddled with errors, the premise is ridiculous, and the whole thing gets boring after the first level or so. Even beyond that, it makes me wonder if the developers have ever actually seen an episode of jackass. We’ll get to all of these issues shortly.
